    • Opplevd stigma og selv-stigma. Effekt på deprimerte ungdommers hjelpsøking og opplevde behov for hjelp 

      Olsen, Jørgen Mathias (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-11-02)
      Depresjon hos ungdom er et viktig satsningsområde både for å forbedre livskvaliteten til ungdom og for å forebygge voksendepresjon. Mange ungdommer som sliter med depressive symptomer oppsøker ikke profesjonell hjelp. Dette skyldes blant annet at psykiske lidelser og depresjon er stigmatiserte tilstander. I denne studien undersøkte vi hvordan ungdommer mellom 15 og 20 år som er over klinisk ...

    • Optimizing the RMET to measure bias not performance differences 

      Pfuhl, Gerit; Leif, Ekblad (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-22)
      <p>Background: Human social interaction and communication is complex. Sending a verbal message is often accompanied by intonations, facial expressions, grimaces, and body postures. Nonverbal signals are potentially open for misinterpretation. One popular test for assessing the interpretation of facial expressions is the “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test (RMET). This test has been used to relate ...

    • Parent-Endorsed Sex Differences in Toddlers with and Without ASD: Utilizing the M-CHAT 

      Øien, Roald A; Hart, Logan; Schjølberg, Synnve; Wall, Carla A.; Kim, Elizabeth S.; Nordahl-Hansen, Anders; Eisemann, Martin; Chawarska, Katarzyna; Volkmar, Fred R.; Shic, Frederick (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-18)
      Sex differences in typical development can provide context for understanding ASD. It has been suggested that ASD could be considered an extreme expression of normal male, compared to female, phenotypic profiles. In this paper, sex-specific M-CHAT scores from N=53,728 18-month old toddlers, including n=185 (32 females) receiving an ASD diagnosis, were examined. Results suggest a nuanced view of the ...

      Rolandsen, Christina (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-01)
      Parenting an adolescent with severe emotional difficulties is challenging, and research shows that when parents do not receive adequate support it can have adverse consequences for the parents, the adolescents, and their siblings. Dialectical behavioral therapy for adolescents (DBT-A) is a treatment method that has an increased focus on parental support, and by including parents in treatment DBT-A ...
    • Parents’ hyper-pitch and low vowel category variability in infant-directed speech are associated with 18-month-old toddlers’ expressive vocabulary

Twenty-one parent-toddler dyads from Tromsø, Northern Norway participated in the study. Parents (16 mothers, 5 fathers), speaking a Northern Norwegian ...
    • Past Negative Consequences of Unnecessary Delay as a Marker of Procrastination 

      Svartdal, Frode; Nemtcan, Efim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-21)
      Standard definitions of procrastination underscore the irrational nature of this habit, a critical criterion being that the procrastinating individual delays despite expecting to be worse off for the delay. However, an examination of more than 175 items in 18 procrastination scales reveals that they do not address such a forward-looking criterion. Consequently, scales run the risk of not separating ...

    • Påvirker mindfulness og self-compassion relasjonen mellom nevrotisisme og symptomtrykk? 

      Rummelhoff, Cecilie; Tingvold, Maiken (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-01)
      Tidligere forskning indikerer at nevrotisisme er positivt korrelert med symptomtrykk, men at mindfulness og self-compassion er positivt korrelert med velvære og gode mestringsstrategier. I denne studien undersøkte vi hvordan nevrotisisme, mindfulness og self-compassion, kan relateres til symptombelastning. Vi forventet å se at self-compassion og mindfulness ville utgjøre en modererende eller ...
    • The PED-t trial protocol: The effect of physical exercise – and dietary therapy compared with cognitive behavior therapy in treatment of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial. 

      Mathisen, Therese Fostervold; Rosenvinge, Jan H; Pettersen, Gunn; Friborg, Oddgeir; Vrabel, Kari-Anne; Bratland-Sanda, Solfrid; Svendsen, Mette; Stensrud, Trine; Bakland, Maria; Wynn, Rolf; Sundgot-Borgen, Jorunn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-12)
      Background: <br> Sufferers from bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) underestimate the severity risk of their illness and, therefore, postpone seeking professional help for years. Moreover, less than one in five actually seek professional help and only 50% respond to current treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The impetus for the present trial is to explore a ...
    • Perceived efficacy of COVID-19 restrictions, reactions and their impact on mental health during the early phase of the outbreak in six countries 

      Mækelæ, Martin Jensen; Reggev, Niv; Dutra, Natalia; Tamayo, Ricardo; Silva-Sobrinho, Reinaldo; Klevjer, Kristoffer; Pfuhl, Gerit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-12)
      The COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of people to drastically change their social life habits as governments employed harsh restrictions to reduce the spread of the virus. Although beneficial to physical health, the perception of physical distancing and related restrictions could impact mental health. In a pre-registered online survey, we assessed how effective a range of restrictions were perceived, ...
    • Perceived safety among off-piste & backcountry skiers 

      Berget, Håkon (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-02)
      Survival in avalanche terrain is about being in the right place at the right time, i.e. taking the right decisions regarding avalanche danger. Psychological research has shown that emotions like fear and safety (absence of fear) influence our decisions. Perceived safety might therefore be an important part of the human factor in avalanche accidents. Few studies have examined perceived safety from a ...
    • Perinatal fluoxetine exposure changes social and stress-coping behavior in adult rats housed in a seminatural environment 

      Houwing, Danielle; Heijkoop, Roy; Olivier, Jocelien; Snoeren, Eelke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-06)
      The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) during pregnancy has increased tremendously, but the consequences for the offspring remain largely unclear. Several studies have described potential effects of perinatal SSRI-exposure on neurobehavioral outcomes using simplified rodent test set-ups, however these set-ups only assess a small fraction of the behavior. For translational purposes ...
    • Personality, passion, self-esteem and psychological well-being among junior elite athletes in Norway 

      Bauger, Lars (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-05-02)
      Personality research among athletes seems to have obtained less interest in recent years after much focus until the 1990s. This decline was obviously a result of ill conducted “personology” research, and a greater focus on psychological state versus trait in the sport psychology community. The present study explored personality dimensions, as measured by the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory, ...
